Sorry to see you go BTS. I agree 100% (for what it's worth) but I've made a promise to myself to not get political on here. It's sort of like trying to drown a vampire with your own blood :rotfl:

All we can do is keep fighting to save things like the Human Rights act, legal aid, the access to work scheme that helps disabled etc etc.

I might be very anti-Tory, but I'm not anti-English (I am English FGS!) I believe in fairness, and currently the best party in the U.K for fairness is the SNP. Never might though, you carry on being blinkered about how nasty the SNP by the Tory owned press. It's all a game "quick, look the scots have done/doing something good, better get it out there that they're still nasty so this horrible lot down here don't start seeing the truth and expecting it'

Over and out!

You could get me onto a whole load of writing here, as any partial bit will always be misleading and never fully represent the entirety of my opinion. There's just so many different areas of debate that arise from the whole situation. I'll just say that, I know when I regret saying something (...because - and this bit would be unsaid by most people and is now itself a faux pas - it paints myself in a bad light) - then again, I'm used to it as I've often blurted out things that I've later rejected:o:o. Except that my writings (as opposed to oral communication) are usually more considered stuff (indeed, way too considered that they go on and on with edgings in and out and confuse and/or bore everyone:rotfl:).

Anyway...
I know that anything I say here is unable to rectify to total 100% the entirely of every possible reader's opinion about me.

I was clearly totally wrong when I suggested it was "blatantly untrue" to say that all the Conservatives needed to do was to win 23 more seats (or whatever the number was). I'm afraid that, like almost everyone, I had been blinded by the results of over 90 separate "opinion" polls. They were to such an extent that, that anyone who claimed before Thursday that the Tories would gain an overall majority was met by complete derision and disapproval.

There was one tiny bit of me that thought "the Conservatives will get back in with a majority again - they always do"; however I had that thought for about 5 seconds and then wrongly continued to believe, like almost everyone I suspect, that the election would almost certainty result in a hung parliament.

But, yet again, what's happened (IMO) is that the few thousand people in a few marginal constituencies (mainly in the South Midlands and Home Counties) decide the outcome. They are the people who, right up to the election, are undecided and totally dithering and know the least information of all about politics and yet these people - the most unsuitable part of the public of all in my view - are the ones that decide every election. They briefly went to Tony Blair but that was only when Labour had moved so far right to be almost the same as the Tories and only when the Tories (as in the Conservative Party rather than Labour's then copy of them) had been in office for so long that the middle-class middle England felt it was totally unfair for Labour not to have held office. Other than that, they return to the Conservatives every time.

In real point, it just shows the population (or tiny part of it that determines the election) to be risk aversive again. They never want to "risk" anything at all - or to vote Labour, which was seen as a "risk" - but instead settle for the status quo - and yes, "it's the economy stupid" - when the consequence of that, bizarrely, is that it carries more risks than the thing they've gone for in order to try to avoid risk. And, as is usual, 60% of voters did not vote for the Conservatives - so most voters, it may be assumed, did not want a Conservative government (although it's a moot point as to whether some of them may have wanted the Conservatives in coalition with whomever they did vote for - and, quite probably because of first-past-the-post some or many people may have voted tactically rather than for whomever they would otherwise have chosen). The country again ends up with the "greatest minority" majority government, although there were some seats in England/Wales where the Conservatives did achieve more than 50% of the vote, so clearly it's not as straightforward as that.

As for my blithely accepting the polls, clearly what I need to do from now on is to hold a 0.01% minority opinion as that will very likely be proved to be correct later on! What I should have done, last week, was to hold the view that the Conservatives would form a majority government - namely to hold a view that, at that time, would have subjected me to being totally derided and my opinion being dismissed (as indeed was even the case when Conservative politicians said they were working for it on television debates - they received derision as a response from the audience, even though the politicians later turned out to have been correct) and I ought to hold, in future, views like those that, last week, would almost have been heretical and dismissed as totally outlandish. Clearly I was wrong to have accepted, without question, what appeared to me at that time to have also been the near universally accepted belief that now transpires to have been completely wrong.

So - if I say something totally outlandish and seemingly heretical in future - remember, it'll almost certainly turn out to have been right!:rotfl:

Flip... what the heck have I missed.

Then again, most things just go over my head!

But during the election, I saw something that even I was shocked at. I was at my brothers and his wife's house when they had someone cold call from one of the major political parties. My sister in law answered the door and told them that unless they were from UKIP she was not interested in talking to them. I did not know whether to cry or laugh. She returned laughing saying that as a Nigerian woman they do not know what to say and quickly leave her alone. I suggested she just said she was not interested...:eek:
